Looking to get your hands on some hot new PS3 accesories and peripherals? Check out the top 8 making their way to the PS3 in the coming months.

Hori Tactical Assault Commander 3 mouse and keyboard

Apparently deciding that the age old battle between the controller and the mouse and keyboard isn’t over yet, Hori tosses some more fuel on that fire by annoucing the release of the Tactical Assault Commander 3 mouse and keyboard combo for the PS3.

PC gamers will argue to death the supremacy of mouse aiming in FPS games as well as it’s versatility in strategy games. Bringing the same precision to the PS3 might give you that extra push towards the top of the leader boards in Call of Duty and the like.

This slick combo comes in a stylish black finish, with behind the keys LED lighting and, according to sources, should be going for around $130 once it hits North America sometime in November.

Urban Camo PS3 Controller and Bluetooth Heaset

War-torn urban settings seem to be all the rage in shooters and action games these days, so it’s no surprise that someone got the bright idea to make a controller that would hide well in one of those settings.

It’s the same PS3 controller you know and love, with all the usual bells and whistles, except that a special Urban Camouflage Bluetooth Headset is going to be released alongside it so you can game in total camouflaged security in your living room. If these accessories don’t make you feel right at home in Modern Warfare, then nothing will.

Both the controller and its nifty headset will be released will be hitting the shelves this November.

Fanatec CSR Wheel, Elite Pedals and Shifter Kit

Playing a racing game using a controller or a keyboard is alright, but you can’t really experience any racing game the way it was meant to be played without a good set of racing peripherals.

First up in this set of release is the Fanatec CSR Wheel. It looks like your standard racing wheel, but a bit more stylish and sleek than some I’ve seen. it has all the buttons for a controller on the front plate, along with a joystick rather than straight up analogue arrow buttons.

However, according to one early reviwer, due to the width of the control it might be difficult to reach the buttons while steering. As well, make sure you don’t sit too far from the TV as it has to be connected via USB.

Next up we have the accompanying pedal set called the CSR Elite Pedals. One nice thing about this device is that the break pedals work based on the amount of foot pressure. You can fine tune the load bearing for different users which might want to have to apply less pressure when breaking, or more if the case may be.

The third and final piece to this set the CSR Shifter kit, which is made of metal rather than the usual plastic for peripherals. They are designed to feel sturdy and tough.

This whole kit comes in at quite the cost however, ranging somewhere around $400 if you buy them individually. I suppose it all depends on how you’re wallet is looking, whether you want to dish out for this level of gear. These peripherals should be available by the time you’re reading this post.

Thrustmaster Ferrari F1 Racing Wheel

For the even more diehard racing amongst you, Thrusmaster will be launching the most advanced racing peripheral on the market.

As a replica of the actual controls used by Ferrari, the Racing wheel might look a bit out of place in your gaming room. As a full size mirror of the real thing, there are likely few racing accessories out there that will get you more in the game than this one.

The wheel is designed to offer as much realism as possible, by featuring realistic feedback from the road, tons of dials and readings and more control than you can have ever imagined. It will ship with a support column and accompanying pedal set and should be available over Amazon this month, and will ship to other retailers later this year.

Official PS3 Remote Update

And, last but not least, Sony will be releasing an updated version of the official PS3 remote control. This release will feature compatibilities with numerous Sony products other than the PS3, such as, according to our source, televisions and amplifiers.

As well,the remote should be fully compatible with Netflix for PS3 owners in the US.

The remote layout will be slightly different to accomodate the multi-device usage Sony is hoping users will get out of it. It will feature a new volume control, along with channel buttons at the bottom of the remote.

Sony is releasing a new slightly improved version of their official PS3 remote in the next couple of weeks.

Around in March, Sony shipped out in Japan two new PlayStation 3 related items, an attractive “satin silver” PlayStation 3 console and an updated version of its official PlayStation 3 remote controller. Well my happy guests, take a good guess which one is slated to come out here in the States later this month?

If you guessed the satin silver PlayStation 3 – you’d be wrong. Although, I will give you points based on style. Being one of the very few nerds who appreciates a little splash of flavor to his electronics, that is one slick piece of gaming machinary. Nom, nom, nom satin silver PS3… uh, excuse me.

Now if you picked the PS3 remote, obviously you picked the right choice.

Late in October Sony will release the new revision to its PS3 remote control peripheral in North America, a device that easily syncs commands over your PlayStation 3, television, and Sony brand amplifiers. The remote also now works with Netflix – and possibly with other video streaming services like DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket and Video Unlimited . As for price, seeing how the old version went for around $30, I can’t see how this one won’t be any different.

Oh and while we are on the subject of Sony products, the company just recently unveiled the official box for the PlayStation Vita, along with an informative list of some of the launch day apps that will be on the portable gaming system from the start.
